It's 1951 and the forces of Joseph Stalin are closing in on a brave band of resistance fighters holding out in the dark forests of Lithuania.The best of the partisans, Greta, is given an unexpected mission: journey to the dark underbelly of France to rescue her lieutenant's missing daughter, Morta.Greta doesn't dare disobey a direct order, but she is reluctant to leave fighting on the front lines for the glamour of France. But corruption lurks on every corner as the thieves and killers in the West are harder to spot, with supposed allies even harder to trust. And something about this mission seems off, as Greta can't shake the feeling that even if she finds Morta, her old friend may not follow her mother's most trusted soldier. With Soviet Russia on the march, how can Greta protect both Morta and her homeland?A white-knuckle thrill ride, The Exile is a master tour de force from break-out author Patrick Worrall that takes readers from the smouldering ruins of Germany to the dark allure of France's Côte d'Azur after the Second World War.
